My database contains values following METRICWX. LOOP data also contains p_rain in [mm], so in the MQTT object for the LiveGauges there is no payload_key "p_rain_in", only "p_rain_mm", which is 100% I'd expected things to be. I'll give it a try and use hail instead, and see what will happen, maybe that gives us a clue what's happening. I mean: why should p_rain [mm] behave in another way than rain [mm]? Maybe there is something missing in a group/unit assignment for p_rain... it's not a common obs_type, neither in wview, nor wview_extended.
